3. OUTCOMES

Implementation, monitoring, evaluation and research utilization outputs are effective.

The ISU Project Team has been regularly tapped by the DILG for the conduct of CSIS in various LGUs in Isabela. The
Institute had already conducted CSIS in different municipalities and cities in Isabela, and Batanes as well. Regular
consultation engagements and technical assistance to LGUs and other organizations have also been conducted. The
sustainabilityof theseactivitieswasbeingmaintainedtoaidincommunity development.

A Project titled Valuation on LGU’s Emergency Measures in times of Natural and Human-induced Disasters: A Citizen’s
Perspective, has beenselectedas oneof theprojects under theCY2016implementation of theDILGTechnical Assistance Programfor
Local Resource Institutes on the Utilization of the CSIS Results. The project aims to gauge citizens’ perception of local disaster risk,
reduction, and management (LDRRM) strategies of LGUs. Furthermore, it aims to offer feedback mechanisms and help provide
insight and guidance on how LDRRM may be integrated into development strategies both in national and local
governments.
